A viral video showing Detective Corporal Baba Amando Ibrahim of the Tuna Police Station in the Savannah Region assaulting a handcuffed civilian has sparked outrage, leading to his immediate interdiction by the Ghana Police Service.
The officer was seen delivering 13 slaps to the handcuffed suspect while repeatedly commanding him to kneel, a directive the suspect refused to obey.
The interdiction is to facilitate a thorough investigation into Detective Corporal Amando’s actions, in accordance with Police Service Regulations.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has reached out to the victim’s family, assuring them of the necessary support. The IGP has also instructed the Savannah Regional Police Commander to liaise with the family on the matter.
